My bf (M42) and I (F40) have known each other 3 years. My kids have known him 2 years. Over the past 8 months my son has increasing anxiety at bedtime whenever my bf is over. If he knows he is coming over he has an absolute panic attack over bedtime. He often ends up crying hysterically. I try to calm him down. My bf tries to calm him down but often bf loses patience and starts yelling. If bf is not here and I am on the phone with bf after son has gone to bed son will wake up and start crying.In calm moments my son has said he hates it when bf comes over cause then he doesn’t get all the attention and he is scared cause I am his only parent.My sons dad is not in the picture. I have tried to reach out. His dad shows no interest. I have been a single parent for almost 6 years now.We are in therapy and have tried sleep techniques such as deep breathing but nothing works.I also have a 6 year old daughter who loves my bf and has no problems at all.I need help. I feel like I can’t do this anymore. It is disrupting our family and no one is getting sleep. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2OG6Jxh
